  1. Mini-Grid Based on Renewable Energy (Biomass) Sources to Augment Rural Electrification Implemented by UNIDO

  2. Project objective To promote renewable energy (biomass) based on mini-grid as an alternative to diesel based energy generation systems in Nigeria

  3. Project outcomes • Preparatory works completed for facilitating replication in the identified potential sites • Acceptance by stakeholders on the technical and financial viability of selected site for setting up the biomass based mini-grid for rural electrification • Conducive financing and policy environment for promoting investments in rural mini-grids in place • Capacity of local planners, institutions and experts for RE based mini-grid enhanced

  4. Outcome 1: Preparatory works completed forfacilitating replicationin the identified potential sites • Project inception workshop organized • Project Steering Committee (PSC) inaugurated • Project Management Unit (PMU) established • National Project Manager recruited • Detailed Engineering studies, TOR for EPC contract prepared

  5. Outcome 2: Acceptance by stakeholders on the technical and financialviability of selected site for setting up the biomass based mini-grid for rural electrification • Full-scale feasibility study with business plan conducted • Investment forum organized • Project stakeholders/financiers identified and organized with established Board • Project stakeholders agreement developed and endorsed by project owners • Project stakeholders exposed to biomass technology through trainings and study tours • Project bid documents prepared and launched • Bidders have been selected and evaluated • Preferred bidder selected for the Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) • EPC Contract signed • Project equity finance determined and agreed by project owners • Project debt finance being processed under the Power and Aviation Intervention Fund (PAIF)

  6. Outcome 3: Conducive financing and policy environment for promoting investments in rural mini-grids in place • Consultation and arrangements ongoing with Energy Commission of Nigeria (ECN) and the National Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC) for the review of policies and documents

  7. Outcome 4: Capacity of local planners, institutionsand experts for RE based mini-grid enhanced • Training of staff of project owners on Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) conducted • Capacity building for key project stakeholders planned and awaiting approval by Federal Ministry of Finance for implementation

  8. Project budget • GEF: 2,681,800USD • Co-financing: 11,935,00USD

  9. Enabling Activities to Review and Update the National Implementation Plan for the Stockholm Convention on Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) Implemented by UNIDO

  10. Project objectives • Update and review the National Implementation Plan (NIP), have it endorsed and submitted to the Stockholm Convention Conference of Parties (COP); and • Enable participating stakeholders to manage the additional POPs with newly developed technical skills, expertise and awareness

  11. Project components • Coordination mechanism and awareness raising • Inventories of new POPs and NIP review • National capacities assessment and priority setting for management of new POPs • NIP formulation, endorsement and submission • Monitoring and evaluation

  12. Project partners and budget • Federal Ministry of Environment • Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF)  • Federal Ministry of Health (FMoH)  • Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (FMA&RD)   • Nigeria Customs Service (NCS)   • National Planning Commission (NPC)  • PHCN now Transmission Company of Nigeria (TCN)  • Basel Convention Regional Coordinating Centre (BCRCC)  • The Academia  • Project budget: $225,016

  13. Project progress • Steering committee to be inaugurated in April 2014 • NIP inventory training to take place in May 2014

  14. Scaling up Small Hydro Power (SHP) in Nigeria Implemented by UNIDO

  15. The project • Project objective Promote investment in Renewable Energy Technologies (RETs) • Expected focal area outcome: Investments in RETs increased • Expected focal area output: 5.9MW RE capacity Installed • Project Implementation Cost: 23,267,917.72USD

  16. Project components • Human and institutional capacity building • Upgrading the capacity for local fabrication of SHP turbines and control systems in Nigeria • Promoting investment in SHP sector • M&E and knowledge management

  17. Lessons of experience Completed sites • WAYA Dam, BauchiState Capacity: 2x75kW • Ezioha – Mgbowo, Enugu State Capacity: 35 kW • KakaraTea Factory, Taraba State Capacity: 2x200kW • Local fabrication of SHP turbines and control systems

  18. Lessons of experience (cont’d) Ongoing sites • Amoke, Benue State Capacity: 3x40 kW • Ikeji-Ile, OsunState Capacity: 2x35kW • OOPL Complex,OgunState Capacity: 15 kW and 2 kW

  19. Progress made • CEO endorsement document ready • Working on the co-financing letters from partners

  20. Project partners • Federal Ministry of Environment • Federal Ministry of Power • Federal Ministry of Water Resources • Energy Commission of Nigeria • Bank of Industry • State Governments • Private Investor
